* In the [[Pokémon Project Studio Red and Blue]] computer programs, the Soul and Marsh Badges' names are reversed, with the pink heart-shaped Badge being the Marsh Badge and the yellow circular Badge being the Soul Badge. Several anime and game handbooks also make this same switch. This appears to be because of an initial error in naming the Badges in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}. A soul would be more attuned to {{t|psychic}} abilities and one finds {{t|Poison|poisonous}} gases in a marsh.
